Her Name was Lost in Rotation

When I first saw this tattoo, I thought it wasn't Hebrew writing at all. It looks like some weird script, Martian maybe?

The victim claims this Hebrew-like doodle to be her name, and on closer inspection I realized that it really was. It just so happened that when trying to render her tattoo vertically, some letters were rotated and some were not, creating this very strange result.

I never had to draw this particular chart before:

In any case, the Hebrew tattoo most likely says "Ebony Eve". Most likely, since aside from being mis-rotated, it's also slightly misspelled. So if you have another interpretation of this name, I'd love to hear it!

And this is how you would correctly write "Ebony Eve" in Hebrew. Ebony on the right, Eve is on the left.

My suggestion, when it comes to words which have letters of different height, is not to rotate it letter by letter. It just doesn't look nice.

unless it is a verse from the bible or something, in free translation it means: אתה אדון גורלי, אתה הקברניט של נשמתי"short explanation: אתה=you=ata (male)את =you=at (female). The word captain is used as well in hebrew = קפטן=kepten, but in your sentence I translated that to קברניט (like the captain of a ship). As well my fate = הגורל שלי= גורליmy soul =נשמתי= הנשמה שליגורלי, נשמתי, are more printed forms than spoken.

I think my son's tattoo was done backwards. We had his name, zachary spelled out from the temple, but I asked for it vertically but they didn't. He took it to the tattoo place did it but idk if it's right.
